WOW. I've stated before I am one who lets the coaches and kids have a life on weekends. I have a bit of a perspective change that makes me more glad to coach in NY even though FB isn't as big in the community (at least at our school-even though we are successful) I would not like the pressure of Texas, Fl., where ever it is expected to do time. I LOVE FB but I do love other things. For 5 grand I guess I'm right where I should be.

Friday after game:
1 -Go to my house (I live across the street) 2 -Download game and set up hudl exchange 3 -Drink beer
Saturday Watch opponents films as staff and breakdown 9-noon No kids - I find meeting without them and focusing on opponent is more productive then when they are here. They have to watch 1 hour of film before Monday or they condition extra. I monitor them through hudl.
I spend the rest of Saturday at home periodically commenting on hudl our previous game and commenting on opponents defense while my DC does the same about their offense. I do this while watching college football. No time frame. I just do it periodically through out day until I'm done.
Sunday I try to have family day. I will comment on film after they go to bed if I feel I need to.
Monday - Thursday Practice (again watch film at night after family goes to bed if I feel I need to).
I agree with Silky. We work on us. I read a book by Bob Reade who is a coaching legend here in Illinois with 3 state titles and 4 D3 national championships and he stated they don't worry about what they cannot control. They worry about themselves. I have adopted this strategy.
Our plays and strategies will be tweaked but not changed. We are who we are. This has been successful for us.

I have already put up our schedule and reading some others I understand we all have a lot of different ways to get it done. One thing about us (I'm sure this is true for many of you too) is that we enjoy the camaraderie of working together, we enjoy the planning, and the feeling of team. The kids also enjoy the ritual and the idea that they belong to something bigger than themselves. We are together, we laugh and we have fun.
I know there are programs where it is al business. There are places where it is all about activity. We try to make it about achievement, and have fun. Sure it can be rough when you got hammered last night, but that is all the more reason to be together, to pick each other up and give ourselves perspective.
In addition we involve our famines as much as possible (really as much as they want to be involved). Our family members have priority in doing almost any job in the program they want (other than coaching or playing of course). This helps in maintaining a family atmosphere. This is a game, it is supposed to be fun, and speaking for myself I love the work, that is why I do it. Of course I seek others that feel the same. Also, if your kid has a Pop Warner game, recital, grandchild wants to visit grandpa, go, get that done too.
Bottom line, I love the fall because of this game...what a game.

I was on a staff at the beginning of my career where we thought just because we put in more time than everyone else that we were better coaches. We use to have like 12-13 hour meetings on Sundays that looking back on them were about useless. As I get older and wiser, or so they say, I am with so many others that it's the quality not the quantity of what you do in meetings.
I also wonder if the style of offense/defense or system coaches use influences their meeting times. Running a system like the wing-t where we feel that their are built in answers for what most defenses do I think cuts down on the time we spend breaking teams down.
I think when you have a solid system on both sides of the ball it is easier to game plan. We pull out the 4-5 fronts/Def we think we will see and work against those all week. We try and stop their best 7-8 plays/schemes during the week. If we see something different in the game then we can adjust during the game or at the half based on what we do.
Do you think the system a team runs, or lack of a system, effects how long coaches spend in meetings etc?

In my mind there is no question that the type of systems that you choose can affect the length of preparation. Even the number of plays that you run affects it because you need to prepare each of those plays against the defense(s) that you expect to see.
If you are a multiple front defensive team you probably want to run each of your base fronts against each of the base plays that your opponent will run. The time that you spend analyzing and drawing those plays up adds up quickly.

Yes Texas. I tried to get on in Florida, I have a lot of family there but no luck. There are times you beat yourself to death. As a HC my assistant coaches only had to ask when they needed to go do something (watch their own kids etc). I have worked for others where it is always a no. Even had a guy when I asked if I could get off at 7:00pm Saturday and come in early Sunday for my anniversary I was told no. It the nature of the game here and yes people do check up at field house to see if your there. If you don't put in 90 hours a week and lose, you will get fired. That is true. But if you put in 100 hours a week and lose, you will also get fired. And if you win, they don't care how many hours you put in. Put in the hours that make your team the best. Or better yet, forget hours all together and just work on your team and spend minimal time on your opponent.

If you win they dont care? LOL Wish that were the case, that only happens if you win the state title. I will completely disagree with spend minimal time on your opp. How much is minimal? What are you breaking down? How are you breaking it down? What side of the ball are you talking? Do this with your defense and I think you will get destroyed here. But just my opinion. Does it take 90+hours no, but there are things that must be broken down.

Does it take 90+hours no, but there are things that must be broken down. Y'all are in the proverbial rat-race. Focusing on time or how much instead of what matters. Do this with defense and get destroyed? Things must be broken down. No they don't. We know how to line up against just about everything. We play blocking schemes on run and pattern read on pass. We rep the heck out of our stuff. Do we watch film? Absolutely. Do we have out kids watch plenty of film? Heck yes. Do we sometimes break down 8 or more films? Sure. Our key is cutting up the film. We make sure each clip starts right before the snap. We make cutups of anything that we deem important. I go through every special team and mark them. Only one of each and any special. If the kickoff three different ways, then that is 3 that are added. That is usually 10 plays total. For their defense I show their basic front, blitzes, goalline, etc. If they happen to play an offense similar to ours, then we put more plays in. That is usually 5 to 20 plays. For their offense we make sure each different formation and play is represented. Sometimes the same play is put in more than once, but not often. That is usually 40+ plays. My DB coach will also make a cutup of just about every pass play and watch with the DB's after practice once or twice for 10 minutes. If their are any trick plays or plays that will give us problems, we will make a special cutup of those. I bet our players watch more film than your players do which is more important since they play the game. If you are breaking down what they do on the 18 yardline on the left hash in the 3rd quarter on 3rd and 5 when they are up by less than 6 points with 11 personnel and number 67 at left guard and in ace formation against a 3-4 strong side blitz with cover 3 rat behind it while on the road and in their throwback jerseys, then you are chasing ghosts. Line up correctly, play the blocking schemes, pattern read the routes, read your keys and run to the football!!! Minimal scheme adjustments. Don't try to out scheme the other team. Let the boys win the game. That is the defense.

I will take the bet on the film. I know what the offense watches any way..
As for the rest I agree with you 100%, just got caught up with the word minimal. As for the rest those tendencies all come from hudl, if it is broken down right the first time. Some teams are hash, boundary etc which you already know. I am not caught up in time at all, work till it is done then go home.
We do not re-invent the wheel each week, doing that kills you, but since 8 of 10 teams run the spread you do get a lot more film on it.

Let the boys win the game. That is the defense. We are working to do exactly that, alignment, assignment, and do your job, in that order of importance. We work to determine what they want to do, fundamentally and take that away. After that we just wand to be fundamentally sound, and have a great work ethic.

you and your staff know what has to get done. So, you get it done as efficiently as you can. What staff A chooses to do and how they choose to do it will be different - sometimes drastically - than what/how staff B chooses.
Some staff's choose to break down 4-5 games, get all this data, go over it bit by bit, formulate specifics for this, for that. Other's choose to look at formations, get a general tendency of sorts, and formulate overall plan.
Honestly, I couldn't care how much time one spends at the office. Do you get all you wish to get done in an efficient manner? if yes, great. if no, then look at ways to become more efficient. For us, it's about efficiency, not about time.
There isn't one way. Hudl has helped alleviate time spent aware from home.

If someone asked me to put 90 hrs a week into a football program during the season, I'd tell them to go take a flying leap off a building. I love football, but there's more to life than winning a game on Friday. I would imagine I "require" less than 20 hrs a week from my staff.
And still found a way to go 10-1 this year.
I worked for a guy once who just worked to fill an hour quota. He was super inefficient, not super bright and loved to spout off how much he "worked". We sucked. Badly. It was the worst coaching experience of my life. I would imagine he asked about 30-40 hrs a week out of us.

Or better yet, forget hours all together and just work on your team and spend minimal time on your opponent. This is one of the best lessons I've taken away from the best coach I know. We are our own worst enemy. When we can triumph over ourselves, it doesn't matter who lines up against us. This isn't to say that film breakdown doesn't matter, but fixing your own issues should be the foremost issue before you start to look at the bad guys. If you're going to really grind while watching film, let it be your own.

In my experience at the HS level, the more invested we've been in "being together as a staff" on the weekends, the less wins we've had.
Now, there are other variables at play. But the bottom line is it doesn't matter what you know as a coach, it only matters what the kids know. If you spend 20 hours on the weekend learning about an opponent, it will likely take twice that to teach it to less interested kids (less interested compared to you). Unless you practice or have the kids 40 hours a week, a lot of what you learned will be useless.
I used to figure all these tendencies and such. Most weren't statistically significant, and half the time they'd do different things in the game anyways based off their gameplan for us.
I've just come to trust strategy on film less and less. Understand what they're trying to do (do they spill, do they squeeze, do they like MOFC or MOFO coverages, how fast to the safeties support, do they over play the run strength or the passing strength, and hash mark adjustments) then use that in practice for the scout teams. Very few good teams will change their core philsophies for any opponent, like are the 3-4 personnel or 4-3 personnel (especially us in 21 personnel I formation looks). When you get into the game, confirm the validity to these assumptions, identify new weaknesses, and go from there. Use film for figuring out the core assumptions/goals of an opponent, red zone/sudden change philosophies (b/c sometimes they're very different from core values), identify personnel along with stengths and weaknesses, and go from there. Much more than that is usually wasted.

Much more than that is usually wasted. Amen. Was just getting ready to try and say the same thing, but that is a much better way than I could explain it. I like to tell the story about a guy I know who was a college DC (he's a great guy love talking with him and all) who ended up being a DC in our region for 3 years. He always likes to tell me how he knew exactly what play we were running based on the first step of our fb. Tells me how he had us broken down to that point. I like to remind him we went 3-0 vs his team and that it' not what you know, it's what your 16 year old mlb knows and what he can do with that knowledge! Film is great. I love watching it. But after watching play #10 30 times they are still doing the same thing all 30 times if you know what mean.

I'd quit. There is no way that football is worth that. That is a 13 hour day on Saturday and 9 hour day on Sunday. If you include lunch it is 14 and 10. First, no way you guys are married or staying married. Second, no way you guys have kids. Third, how do you not burn out and have anything left to coach the kids with. Fourth, y'all have to be an irritable bunch at school, practice, and at home. Fifth, how does that help the players??? They are the ones who play. This is the part I just do not get. I bet y'all are still going to call your same dang defense and same dang offense. How many different ways can you block something or how many different calls can you have on 4th and 1 or 3rd and 3 or 3rd and 12? If y'all try and cram all that info down the players throats my guess is that they will be confused. Sixth, there is a law called the "law of diminishing returns." There is also something called being counter-productive. If I want to increase my squat, I might do 3 sets of squats once or twice a week and increase my max 50 pounds over the course of the year. If I do more, say 5 sets and three times a week, that might increase my max 55-60 pounds over the course of the year - but that is debatable. That is the law of diminishing returns. But if a do 10 sets of squats twice a day every day for a year, my squats will go down. That is being counter-productive. Well I am not the HC so not my call. On #1 Yes married and happily for 22 Years, she has been through it before so she understands. We make time for each other. #2 I have 3 every coach on staff has at least 2 #3 Burn out.....it is tough at times and when season ends it takes a lot of time to recover. #4 YES #5 I can not answer this question sorry. #6 I agree This does not include the week. 5:00am till 8:00pm Monday Tuesday 5 to 7:30 Wed 5 to 6:30 ish Thur 7 till JV is gone home Fri 7:30 till kids are done and laundry started That is insane! Not that it is a trade off but how many state championships have you won with that program?

Im going to sound like a jerk but for once i just dont care. I dont think many high school coaches know how to break down a film. Silk explained it about as good as you can. If you watch it more than twice ur playin with yourself. We have went 78-7 here in alabama w two titles in four years. We meet on sunday at two. We go home around 530. My old DC (because I moved to offense this year) watches our Friday night film about 10 times between Saturday morning and Sunday practice (3pm) He then watches the next opponents film about 15 times to get every single formation and route they run. Writes them on 6x4 note cards. I believe he went through 3,000 this year. Then in practice, he goes through EVERY single card at least once. And changes the defense based on what offensive formation comes out. Then after practice, he goes back and rewatches scout film to see if he missed anything. He seriously puts in about 80 hours of film watching a week, if not more.

Guys keep talking how many titles. It is easy to coach with talent. We have very little and we are new here. We made playoffs for the first time since 2007. Also I am the oc, I do what my boss tells me, just as I expected people to do when I was hc. As for not knowing how to breakdown film, I have done it at the hs level and other levels so I feel confident I know what I am doing. We won several games this year when we played teams who were better than us, two in OT. I know for a fact breaking down what these two teams did in the 4th helped us. Knowing how conservative they were. Is this is the schedule I would have as a hc, no but again I am not the boss.

I do what my boss tells me, just as I expected people to do when I was hc. Everyone has to admit, there is loyalty here. Nobody seems to agree with what your HC is having you do Tex but you are still saying the right things. I'll be another that adds to the opinion that what's done within your program is too much. But I respect how you are loyal to the HC despite him and his philosophy getting trampled in this thread. Good for you Tex. I think you'll win more games because of the loyalty rather than the hours put in.

Our kids have their own laptop at our school and have to bring it to every class. The amount of hudl they watch all day is unreal. Isn't this outstanding? We have the same thing at our school with standard issue Macbook Airs to each student and we have Hudl within our football program. Our guys watch a ton of film. Way more than I ever did as a player just because it's more accessible. Our guys actually make their own highlight films as well. I know a lot of people think...a highlight film? How does that help him get better? The way I figure, he has to go through those plays and decide which ones were good and which ones were bad. So he's self-evaluating as he's making the highlight film. Kind of a tricky way for them to help themselves get better with film but I believe it works.

I think if our kids watch film in class we will get fired. But we do film in groups everyday, plus kids watch at home lunch etc. They can hammer away, he is the boss, period. If he wants self scout of offense done at 7 Saturday night we do it. Plus I think the offensive guys are also loyal to me, I go to bat for them. And if defense is behind I help them.

I am the head coach...here is our breakdown:
Friday night after the game: upload Hudl film and coordinators tag their calls. I will ODK the trade film for the next week's opponent on Friday night (we all trade through hudl)
Saturday: Our coaches do not officially meet. We all watch Friday night's game on our own time. Most of us stay up to watch it on Friday night, some watch on Saturday morning. Myself, the OC, and the DC are all very close friends. We informally discuss though text, phone call, or over a few beers while watching college ball on saturday what we saw on the previous weeks film and the upcoming opponent. Also, offensive and defensive staff breaks down the next week's opponent via hudl. They each have their own areas they are responsible for tagging. Also, through hudl, position coaches will make cut-ups for their position group to show on Sunday. All of this done at the coach's leisure. My only expectation is that it is finished by Sunday morning.
Sunday is our heavy film day: We have all graded the previous game tape. We have all had time to look at the next week's opponent separately. After lunch, OC, DC, and myself begin formulating a game plan. We work from Noonish until the kids arrive at 4:00.
Kids arrive and lift/run/stretch from 4-5. At 5 we watch the previous week's game film. The kids are expected to have watched the game at least once on their own by the time they come in on Sunday. (I check the hudl times) They should also have watched any position group cut ups their coach has made. These usually include comments as well. We usually watch film with the kids from 5-6 or 6:30 depending. The majority of this time is spent on last week's game. We generally are going to "do what we do" on offense and defense so we get better by watching ourselves more so than watching the next week's opponent. The last 30 minutes for the kids the coordinators give them a little preview of the game plan for the week.
The kids leave at 7 and the coaches generally run home for some dinner or I order food for the staff. At this point, the OC, DC, and myself stay to finish the entire gameplan and week's practice schedule. This sometimes goes quickly and we are out by 8 or so. Other times we are burning the midnight oil until around midnight just depending on what needs to be done.
So...
Saturday (work on your own time...get your jobs done when you have the time) essentially we are off this day
Sunday noon-til if you are a coordinator. 4-7 if you are a player.

Gabehc16,
How do you breakdown film? You said each coach had responsibilities for tagging opponent film...what are those responsibilities?

Post by gabehc16 on Jan 10, 2013 9:08:48 GMT -6
Depending on what we can get from the other team during the exchange we work it something like this...(consider we have a staff of 5 varsity coaches counting me that are capable of tagging film)
HC - ODK all opponent film and publish/share with the team
OC - Tag fronts / Blitzes / Coverages
WR/RB - Tags yardline / down and distance / gain / hash
DC - Tag formation / play names and route combinations / generate tendency report
LB's - Tag yardline / down and distance / gain / hash
This pretty much covers everything we could need in doing our scouting reports. We also tag all plays and formations for the defense in the actual terminology and play design etc of our offense (as best we can...we are a multiple spread team so when we play wing t teams this can get a little difficult)
All of this information must be entered into the hudl system by the time I get up to go to church on Sunday morning. We also have begun training a manager/filmer to enter the information that doesn't require coaching knowledge. This season I am hopeful that he can tag ODK / DD / Hash / Yardline / Gain and we can do more cut ups with notes etc. from the position coaches.
Hope this helps. The system works pretty good. As long as you keep up with it throughout the season it is a great way to divide and conquer. Also, periodically I will ask our OC to generate a self scouting report through Hudl so that we can see what tendencies we have created so that we can break them later on.
A lot has been made on this topic as to how successful your team was through this process. We were not very successful this season. We had 1 senior starter on our football team this year and numerous freshmen and soph's in starting positions. I think our program was extremely successful using this method because our kids and coaches were able to learn a lot of football even if it didn't translate into wins. If this coming season has the same results, I will have to reevaluate the way we do a lot of this. For now, this seems like the best method for our program.

Yes Texas. I tried to get on in Florida, I have a lot of family there but no luck. There are times you beat yourself to death. As a HC my assistant coaches only had to ask when they needed to go do something (watch their own kids etc). I have worked for others where it is always a no. Even had a guy when I asked if I could get off at 7:00pm Saturday and come in early Sunday for my anniversary I was told no. It the nature of the game here and yes people do check up at field house to see if your there. I also coach in Texas, and our weekends aren't anything like the other one that spends 16 hours per weekend on high school football. We use HUDL so we have our next opponent's scout films by Thursday. HC/DC/OC break those films down on Thursday/Friday. Friday night post-game our video guy will ODK our game, asst. coach get laundry started, and then it's 5th quarter w/families at a local bar/grill. Our Saturday schedule: Coaches 7:30 am - Assts. gets laundry finished. HC/DC/OC meet. 8:00 am - Staff breakdown Friday night's game Players 9 am - Captains practice. Light lift/Light run Coaches 9:30 - Meet to discuss and evaluate our own personnel Players 10:00 - Watch Friday night's game Coaches 10:00 - Watch upcoming opponent's film as a staff Players 11:00 - Done Coaches 11:00 - Done (we all have access to HUDL and continue to evaluate film independently over the weekend, HC/DC/OC meet early Monday morning before school to set the game plan) We DO NOT meet as a staff on Sundays. That day is for God/Family. By the way...we have been very successful (staff continuity, enthusiastic players, happy wives and girlfriends, playoffs, state tournament, and a very happy supportive school community) using this formula.
